Overview

A LIN (Local Interconnect Network) device driver is a crucial software component designed for embedded systems, enabling communication between the microcontroller and various devices in automotive and industrial applications through the LIN bus. This lightweight, cost-effective communication system is often used in vehicles for integrating simple sensors and actuators with the vehicle's central computing resources.

Multiple TI device families support Simma Software's Flash Bootloader, including C2000™ microcontrollers (MCUs), MSP432™ MCUs, Sitara™ MCUs and MSPM0 MCUs.

Features
  • Compatibility: Supports LIN protocol versions 1.3, 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2, ensuring broad applicability across different LIN networks.    
  • Efficiency: Implements a small footprint and low resource consumption, making it ideal for microcontrollers with limited memory and processing capabilities.    
  • Controller and responder modes: Can be configured to operate in either controller or responder mode, providing flexibility in network architecture and device roles.    
  • Automatic baud rate detection: Facilitates easy integration by automatically detecting the network baud rate, reducing setup complexity.    
  • Error detection and handling: Includes robust error detection and handling mechanisms, ensuring reliable communication under various conditions.    
  • Event-driven architecture: Utilizes an event-driven architecture, improving real-time performance by triggering actions based on specific network events.    
  • API support: Offers a comprehensive application programming interface (API) for easy development, integration, and customization of LIN communication functionalities.    
  • Sleep and wakeup functionality: Supports sleep and wakeup functionalities, contributing to lower power consumption and extended battery life in battery-powered applications.    
  • Diagnostic services: Incorporates diagnostic services enabling identification, troubleshooting, and resolution of network and device issues.
